Will paginate and sorting..

rubyonrails-talk

Hello,    I have my own functions in the controller and i want to use will paginate. when i use will paginate then i face the following problems, 1.I cannot sort the commplete results after search...i can only sort the results that are there on a particular page but not the whole set of results.

2. Since i am using my own defined functions in the controller clicking on the next page in will_paginate takes me to a controller action (i think index or show) which in my application has nothing to do with searching..so i get an error. What do i need to do Thank you.

Hi, what does your user defined function do that the conditions has doesn’t

do? In any case, here’s a good Railscast that handles this very nicely:

See http://mislav.uniqpath.com/static/will_paginate/doc/ and click on the WillPaginate::Collection link on the left and read the docs on create().
